Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
element-web can't search encrypted rooms.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
seshat should work in the browser so that element-web can search encrypted rooms.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
- Replace seshat in element-web with something that supports web.
- Use a different search index in the browser than on electron.
**Additional context**

Research direction
Start by investigating how seshat is integrated with element-web and how its current Electron-only support is implemented. Review the linked element-web issue and determine the browser constraints and required integration boundary. Done means encrypted-room search works in the browser without requiring a separate index implementation.
